I was watching this thing on Trio about the evolution of country music. It seems that during the 60s, bluegrass players found a new niche playing for the counter-culture, hippies and what not. They even showed a group (don't know who it was) playing at some festival with wild psychedelic effects behind them. Hilarious. I think this would be a great story idea--a whole bunch of redneck players at one of these outdoor festivals getting in an ideological war of words with hippies, or maybe on the bus going to a similar sort of gig. I don't know when I'll write it. This novel consumes me right now.

Yes i read "South of no north" liked it pretty well! I think i've read most all of Hank's short story collections. Another good one is, "Run with the hunted, the Bukowski reader"
